HP Unveils New HP MJF 1200 3D Printer at RAPID + TCT 

At RAPID + TCT 2026, HP announced a series of developments across its additive manufacturing portfolio. 

The announcements arrive as HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions (HP AM) marks a decade of innovation in additive manufacturing, reflecting the company’s focus on enabling digital manufacturing through an integrated ecosystem of hardware, materials, software and workflow technologies.  

As part of its advancements, the HP Jet Fusion 5600 series is introducing a High Productivity print mode that supports HP AM’s strategy to lower cost per part at scale.  The 5600 will support HP 3D High Reusability PA 12 Glass Beads, enabling the production of stiff, dimensionally stable parts at a low cost while advancing the range of applications customers can address with HP’s polymer additive manufacturing technologies.   

HP is also introducing HP Multi Jet Fusion Dual Tone technology, enabled by HP’s agent capabilities, which allows printing in two color tones—white and gray—to create special part features such as textures, QR codes, markings, and labels. The HP Jet Fusion 5600 series will be the first system in the HP portfolio to offer this capability built in, with availability planned for late 2026. 

“As we mark a decade of innovation in additive manufacturing, these latest advancements across our portfolio reflect HP’s focus on bringing industrial-grade capabilities closer to where ideas take place,” says Alex Moñino, senior vice president and general manager, HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions. “By lowering cost per part and simplifying workflows, we are making it easier for customers to adopt additive manufacturing and scale it across new applications."

HP Expands Access to Industrial MJF Tech 

HP introduces the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200 3D Printer Solution, a compact system designed to bring access to HP’s industrial Multi Jet Fusion (MJF). The solution delivers the same core MJF technology used across HP’s existing additive manufacturing portfolio in a smaller, more affordable printer. 

The platform also serves as a scalable entry point into the existing MJF portfolio. The full solution will be available from early 2027.  

Solution for the HP Multi Jet Fusion 1200 3D Printer  

To streamline adoption, the solution is supported by an ecosystem of hardware and software designed to simplify the additive manufacturing process. Included with every HP MJF 1200 3D Printer is Magics Print for HP, a build-preparation software powered by Materialise, as part of the CO-AM Ecosystem. This tailored solution provides professional-grade tools for nesting, part orientation, and build layout.

Availability of HP IF 600 HT in the US and Canada 

HP also announced the general availability in the United States and Canada of the HP Industrial Filament 3D Printer 600 High Temperature (HT), first introduced in November 2025. The industrial filament platform is designed to support high-temperature materials and applications across sectors including aerospace, oil and gas, medical, automotive, and industrial manufacturing. 

HP Expands Metal Jet Applications 

HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions continues to expand the capabilities of its HP Metal Jet platform through the development and qualification of new materials for industrial production across high-growth sectors such as aerospace, tooling and energy. These include copper for high conductivity applications (thermal management and electrification), nickel-based superalloys such as M247LC for high-temperature aerospace components, and tungsten carbide–cobalt (WC-Co) materials for tooling.  

HP Additive Manufacturing Solutions also announced a collaboration with metal powder handling specialist, Volkmann GmbH, to introduce the vPort, a contained powder management system for the HP Metal Jet S100 Printing Solution.
